Faulty instrument cluster fails, shorts out causing door locks to constantly unlock cycle kill battery & electrical failure causing engine to die. I have read countless stories of others with the same problem in 2004-2005 Dodge ram pickups. Dealership charges $1000 dollars to fix & admits it is a manufacturing defect but refuses to help. Fiat Chrysler automobiles customer service also refuses to help.

Has occurred 3 times within 30 days. At low speeds between 15mph and 35mph, engine stops, gauges go dead and aprox 6 seconds later the transmission slams into park. 1st time it happened I was lightly breaking & coasting for a stop light; 2nd time I was cruising about 35mph; and 3rd time I was accelerating from a dead stop across 4 lanes of traffic. The transmission going into park after the engine and electrical system went dead reminds me of when you turn the ignition off without first putting it into park - when this happens, a few seconds later, the transmission automatically shifts into the park position. I had at least 1/2 tank of gas each occurrence. I notified the dealership on 1/14/15, dealership says there are no recalls and that I would have to wait 2 weeks before they can check out the problem, which I consider serious. Additional electrical info that may or may not be related: the infotainment system frequently malfunctions - the play list for songs duplicates in the listing, songs repeat two to three times, sd card selection stops working, sd card selection all of a sudden stops recognizing the sd card. The infotainment center has also completely restarted as if it was rebooting.

When I purchased my Dodge truck in 2012 the car lot where I bought it had used some kind of glue and tape on the dash it had every small crack. About 3 months later while driving down the road piece of dash fell out under my feet. Small pieces fell out several more times then bigger pieces started coming lose. I had to pull over and remove most of the dash in pieces. Now windshield is cracked my mechanic say its because of the dash being busted up like it is, that caused my windshield to crack.

I am an owner of a 2001 Dodge 1500 truck that was in perfect condition up until 2 days ago, that was when my dashboard caved in. I took my truck to my mechanic for a summer tune-up. I live in arizona and when those triple digits start rolling in you want to be sure your ac is blowing cold and mine seem to be having some airflow problems. When my mechanic got through inspecting the truck he discovered that my dashboard was slowly "caving in" causing some electrical problems. He decided to take the dash off to get a better look and when he took the screws out the whole dashboard just broke into many pieces. I am very concerned because that dash has many electrical components behind it which could potentially cause some major problems. I am also in favor of a recall, because the dashboard inspector must of been on vacation in 2001 when they let this truck leave the factory with issues like that. Recall that dash!!!.

After completion of hvac recall, failure of mode door actuator caused inability to defrost windows. No remedy from Chrysler as recall has been accomplished 6 months prior. Have a 2006 Dodge with same problems with hvac in dash failures of mode door and recirculation door with 3 dealer replacements of both since purchased new. Last advised in January of 2013 that entire in dash hvac ducting/ door housings require replacement at a cost of over $1500. 2009 Dodge has same/ similar design and is now experiencing same failures. Inability to select defrost is causitive of window fogging and icing leading to poor visibility in inclement conditions and will lead to accidents from same. Recall on 2009 does not address design issue that has plagued these trucks since 2006 (as evidenced by my other truck). This must be addressed NHTSA and Chrysler before losses of lives mount. 2009 currently undrivable due to fear of rear wheel lock up due to pinion nut loss and still no notification of recall issued from Chrysler.

I went to start up my 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 and the whole dash was dead. No instrument gauges and "no bus" appeared on the odometer. Took it to my Dodge dealership and they said it was a bad bcm. Need to replace it. I contacted Dodge headquarters to ask if they can work with me on the price and they said no. There has been numerous complaints about this specific part going bad on other Dodge models. This is a serious problem since I could have been driving on the freeway and all my gauges, speedometer, and everything else goes dead in the instrument panel.
Dash starting cracking and falling apart, wires got messed up and some things don't work. Parts of the plastic of the dash come out the vents when you turn on the heat or air. Part with the VIN went somewhere to parts unknown.

My Dodge truck driving on the freeway at 65 all gauges zero out and the no bus reading is displayed on the odometer readout the truck is unresponsive losing power all warning lights are displayed on instrument panel. The truck now stalls at stop lights and runs rough. It has been at two shops the shops have replaced the computer the instrument cluster the body control module and has checked every wire and has not found any solutions.
I purchased a Ram 1500, from day one there was problems the passenger door stayed ajar due to bad sensor says dealership leaving interior lights on at all times and would ding everytime I took off from a stop. They said that the cluster was bad so they replaced it with one that read in kilometers instead of mph. Later they replaced it with a cluster that read in mph. Transmission grinds gears when put in reverse and jumps when put into drive. Also transmission slips to lower gears when driving throwing me forward into the dash multiple times. Nothing has been successful in repairing the transmission as of yet although they say that they reprogrammed the transmission.

After about 11,000 miles the dash began to get cracks and fall apart. It gradually has gotten to the point that there are very large holes and pieces of the dash have gotten into the duct work of the vehicle. Also have been having electrical problems with fuses blowing. That is when I took the vehicle to vann Dodge in vineland NJ and reported the problem. They took photos and later called me and said the determined that the dash was failing because of exposure to sun!!! the vehicle is garaged or parked in the shade for most of its early life and cracks and chunks happened for no apparent reason, but this is probably their way out of fixing the problem. Now comes another problem or incident that happened to me because of this faulty plastic that was used to construct the dash. I was driving down the road and turned on my defroster and a piece of plastic blew out of the vent on the top of the dash or lack there of, and hit me in the face causing me to swerve and almost hit an oncoming car. I was lucky that the car avoided me or it could have been tragic. I went back to the dealership 2 months ago to have service on a different vehicle and questioned them on the status of any recall and they asked me for my VIN # of my Dodge ram pickup which I provided and they said there is no record of me taking the vehicle to them for a inspection, which is totally false!!! they conveniently lost my records on my pick up!!!!! something has got to be done to prevent someone from being killed due to this fault of Chrysler corp. I have put a replacement skin on the dash but there was not much left to adhere the skin to at a cost of nearly $300 but the pieces continually fall into the vents. Thank you.
